They say that the Principality of Raenor is thriving. But is it? Most Raenorians are descendants of refugees from war-torn neighboring lands, they live in seclusion, not mixing with each other and not being interested in life outside the borders of the principality. But Princess Helen knows that the impending war between two neighboring states will be a disaster for Raenor. The princess is trying to gain time to prepare for relocation to a distant northern country that once belonged to her ancestors. She understands that the upcoming trials will either turn her subjects into a single people, or destroy them, scattering the survivors throughout the Middle World. Helen knows that if she falls in love, she will awaken the ancient curse of her family. But Haggar, the son of the ruler of a neighboring state, is not afraid of the secrets hidden behind the walls of the princely palace. Will he be able to overcome the princess's fear of love? How will Helen's friends accept the newcomer? And wouldn’t the absence of his son seem like treason to his father? After all, Arandamar, the homeland of Haggar, is preparing for war with its neighbor and protector of Raenor, Morn.
